@lritter well, it makes more sense for a game dev to be on discord than for any other company - especially security related and companies that proclaim their foss / anti-big-tech background or purpose.
But still, you can choose to not have discord as your only support platform.
In the end it comes to this: If we use discord we contribute our and our users' personal data to discords's revenue while ignoring secure alternatives because everyone else also jumps off the bridge.
We can do better.

@sturmsucht it's not just a game; there's also OSS tech being developed. but sure. i totally agree. orgs can only meet people where they are though. and when they're in the wrong place, we'll meet them in the wrong place, because it has greater value than chasing purity for its own sake. if we had more market pull though... if people came to us wherever we are ... i'd certainly change the rules.
